Resurrexi Posted August 5, 2007 Author Share Posted August 5, 2007 Well since it's the 5th now it's not really my baptismal anniversary anymore, but I guess I'm celebrating tomorrow by receiving the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ for the first time in five weeks since i went to confession today!

Justin86 Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 (edited) My belated congrats. My baptismal birthday is Oct. 29. I remember it because it happened six months to the day after I was born. It must have been one of the last things my parents did before they left Britain as they tell me I was that old when they left.

homeschoolmom Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 Fourteen years ago.... I was gearing up for another year teaching first grade. But since it was summer, I was probably helping out in the office... and yeah, grim and sorrowful are different... Even hear of the Sorrowful Reaper?

Sojourner Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 Grim implies a lack of hope. You can be hopeful and sorrowful all at once, but you can't be grim and hopeful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sojourner Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 oh come on, Tyler, that's why I said "implies." I wasn't going for a dictionary definition. Must every little word be explained to you? Give it a rest. Isn't the whole point of this thread to celebrate your baptism? And yet you get hung up on "grim." Sheesh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brendan1104 Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 Wrong, I did mean the funeral rite. Ha! I love causing debates without meaning to [quote name='StThomasMore' post='1350078' date='Aug 4 2007, 11:55 PM']True, but Brendan usually hears the Extraordinary Form and therefore was probably referring to the scripture quote not only for that reason but also because it's more relevant and less grim than a quote from the funeral rite.[/quote] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
